Villeneuve pushed back gently on Tarantino's assertion that Dune is just a remake of David Lynch's film.
Denis Villeneuve is currently doing the press rounds, working on what’s likely to be a full-tilt Oscars campaign for. That’s good news for us, in so far as Villeneuve is typically pretty funny and candid when in conversations with press, unafraid to have a little fun with the hype machine that’s wrapped itself around his Frank Herbert adaptations. That includes responding tofilms because he’d already seen David Lynch’s version back in 1984. Villeneuve’s instant response: “I don’t care.
” But he also pointed out the obvious objection to Tarantino’s weirdly harsh stance on the topic of revisiting older stories: Villeneuve’s movies are, despite sharing a base plot, radically different films from the one Lynch made, from their visuals to their scope all the way to their handling of their main character. Or, to put it in Villeneuve’s own words: “What I did was not a remake. It’s an adaptation of the book. I see this as an original.
